Sen. Tim Scott Thursday defended his endorsement of Sen. Lisa Murkowski for re-election, amid blowback from some Republicans who support her Trump-endorsed opponent, Kelly Tshibaka.
"The road to socialism runs right through a divided Republican Party," Scott, R-S.C., said. "I like winning and frankly the best shot at us keeping that seat is without doubt Lisa Murkowski."
Scott said that among the reasons he thinks Murkowski, R-Alaska, gives Republicans the best chance to hold on to her seat in a key election year is that "the power of incumbency is undeniable." He added that "she works really hard."
The senator's endorsement puts him at odds with former President Donald Trump in the key Senate race — a move that angered some on the right.
But Scott is far from the only Republican to be on the opposite side of a Senate race from Trump this cycle. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas; former Vice President Mike Pence; Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y.; Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.; Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky.; and others have endorsed 2022 GOP primary candidates in races where Trump endorsed their competitor.

Winning is meaningless if you get a Murkowski. It gives the illusion that you won, but every time it matters she is a vote for the enemy.
She voted Democrat, so where is the win in retaining a Rhino Republican. She’s gotta go !
Pay attention to who is endorsing who...
I liked Tim, but looks like it is time for him to go too now.
MAGA candidates wont be endorsing deep state candidates.
If he likes to win, he should stay away from that loser Murkowski.
Scott hasn’t been impressing me with any intelligence that is visible.
The Murkowskis, Collins, Romneys, etc. bite us in the butt time after time and the argument is always the same—they’re better than a dem. By accepting this we never advance the conservative position, they always act as a foil in service of the dems. It has to stop, even if it means letting the seat go to a dem temporarily we have to get these turncoats out of office.
Black RINO.
Who put the drugs in your coffee, Tim?
I’m going to enjoy posting my schadenfreude comment in November.
Timmy can go pound sand.
Yes, since she is a democrat at heart.
Oh brutha
Romney is congenital Swamp filth. So is Murkowski.
Swamp filth are people of horrible character, especially Romney. For scum politicians, and they are all precisely that, there is only one measure of character.
Not backstabbing your voters. Politicians must know their place. They are not leaders, because scum should not lead. They are representatives of their voters. Nothing more.
Susan Collins must not be lumped with those two traitorous filth. She DOES represent her voters. If we don’t like what her voters want, that is our failure. Not hers. We did not persuade attitude change.
We graduated from the same college so ive been following his career but this ???
Either Cocaine Mitch (McConnell) or Pierre Delecto (Romney)
has been pressuring Tim to join the In Crowd.
Romney may have shown Tim acres of land that can be bought quickly and cheaply in a Sweetheart Deal:
“Look Tim, study the vista! All that gorgeous land, perfect for farming or building a few condos. All you can see before you now, can be yours..for a song! Are you ready to sing with the choir, Tim?”
She voted against the constitution and the American people for nonsense gun control.
Her incumbency means nothing in comparison. She’s nothing more than traitor trash.
You, Owen, are the first one I’ve seen online who has pointed out how Susan Collins differs from your average Globalist RINO. You reminded us of why she does what she does.
Nah, it’s all GrahamIdiot.
Both will be on the next episode of Hannity, I am sure of it. /s
This tells me that Tim Scott “wishes” he could have voted to impeach Donald Trump as well . . .
